the workpiece, switch off the REMS Krokodil and wait until the diamond cutting
disc has come to a complete standstill. Do not lift off the workpiece until the
drive unit is at a standstill. Switch off the safety vacuum cleaner/dust extractor.
CAUTION
Diamond cutting discs get very hot. Let them cool down before touching or
removing.

4. Maintenance
WARNING
Pull out the mains plug before doing maintenance work!
4.1. Maintenance
The gear of REMS Krokodil diamond slitting and cutting machines is maintenance-
free. It runs in a life-long grease filling and therefore needs no lubrication. Keep
the power tool and the mount of the diamond cutting discs clean. Blow out the
air vents on the motor from time to time with the machine running. Clean plastic
parts (e.g. housing) only with the REMS CleanM machine cleaner (Art. No.
140119) or a mild soap and a damp cloth. Do not use household cleaners.
These often contain chemicals which can damage the plastic parts. Never use
petrol, turpentine, thinner or similar products for cleaning. Make sure that liquids
never get inside the electric power tool. Never immerse the power tool in liquid.
CAUTION
Check the diamond cutting discs regularly for cracks or damage. Cracked and/
or damaged diamond cutting discs may not be used.
